Morpheus8 in Spring, TX is a minimally invasive Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD), designed to remodel collagen and coagulate adipose tissue. This fractional tissue treatment simulates the production of collagen in the underlying layers of the dermis. This treatment can reduce excess fat, tighten your skin tissues, and reverse various superficial signs of sun damage, acne scars, and age. Morpheus8’s cutting-edge technology combines two of the most effective skin rejuvenation techniques—microneedling and radiofrequency—to provide dramatic results.
Morpheus8 consists of numerous adjustable microneedles that puncture the uppermost layers of the skin. This process, known as microneedling, creates microchannels in your skin to activate your body’s natural healing response, similar to how your body heals wounds. This increases your body’s skin cell turnover and collagen production responses. Over time, new skin cells are formed to replace the damaged cells on the surface, giving you smoother, even-textured, and glowing skin, while the newly-formed collagen and elastin fibers enhance your skin’s firmness.
As the microneedles penetrate your skin’s surface, they simultaneously deliver radiofrequency (thermal) energy into the deeper tissues. The underlying layers of the skin are heated at 42 to 43℃ temperatures, stimulating collagen production and skin cell contracture. As such, the radiofrequency energy boosts the treatment’s results to provide smoother and tighter skin with reduced wrinkles.
Candidates for Morpheus8 skin tightening in The Woodlands are men and women of any skin type or color who would like to reduce wrinkles, scarring and sagging. Candidates should meet the following requirements:

Prior to treatment, a topical numbing agent is applied to reduce discomfort. However, if you are particularly sensitive or anxious, you can ask for local numbing injections along with the topical anesthetic to alleviate your physical discomfort.
The Morpheus8 device consists of customizable settings for both the mirconeedles and the radiofrequency. The depth and energy will be adjusted according to your skin quality and concerns. As the device moves over the treatment area on your face or body, the microneedles will penetrate the uppermost surface of the skin and deliver thermal energy deep within your tissues. You will experience some discomfort and feel heat when this happens.

Redness, irritation, and swelling around the treatment areas can be expected immediately after treatment and can last for a few days—ice packs can minimize the swelling. You may also experience tiny superficial micro-lesions that usually subside in about one week.
Most patients start to see some of the desired results four weeks after treatment. However, the results will continue to improve, peaking three months later, as your skin produces more collagen and elastin fibers. Patients may need additional sessions for optimal results—your provider will create the treatment plan based on your skin quality and aesthetic goals.
